Josephine county people are thor oughly In earnest In their efforts to build a hard surfai e road from Grants Pass to the California line on the way to Crescent City. The)' nn not only in enrneHt but have quite ) a few miles of the road completed. If we ran Induce the California roun- ty of Del Norte to commence work i on Its nd of tbe road It will great , ly encourage our people to i push forward and do their part on t this Important highway to the sea. Crescent City people have everything ' to gain and nothing to lose by build- ' Ing their part of the road and we I are glad to learn that steps have been taken to commence the work In the near future. It should be understood that the j building of this road to the sea also I means much to the Rogue river val ley. It places us within n few hours of Crescent City and enables us to connect with both freight and pas senger steamera at that point eith er south to San FranclHco or north to Portland and the Puget Sound From this point she evidently discovered what she considered a great truth and from that time on she worked to place the women of the different states on a financial basis, so that they would no lonper be at the mercy of circumstances. This led her to demand for her sex I an equal opportunity, politically, 'with men. The man who has respect !for his mother, wife or daughters rannot listen to Dr. Shaw without realizing that it is his duty to en franchise these objects of his love and care. It is to be hoped that this popular woman orator has by her visit to Oregon Insured a majority vote for woman suffrage. velt. 16; Wilson. 2; Debs, 2; Taft, I. These figures may be honest, and ! doubtless are, but it would not be , wise for the Courier readers. to take any of the bets that may be offered, j Mr. Taft will undoubtedly be third j in the ra-e for the contest is clearly ! between Roosevelt and Wilson, with ! the chances In favor of the latter on j account of tli fact that the repub- j llcan party is split wide open. It is j possible that enough democrats will i leave Wilson and vote the progres-! sive ticket to elect Mr. Roosevelt. ' It means good crops when you use an Oliver Plow.

There has been more or less com plaint in Grants I'ass that things are not moving as they should and the only trouble I that we take things to heart and grow personal in our discussion regarding the situation. There always will be the old trouble; thut Is, "many men of many minds." This has lu-en the case ever since bible times and before for that mat ter. Nothing can or ever will be ac complished unless we get together, country. This would open markets .. u, . . , land therefore the Courier has to sug- to us which are now, on account of i gent that we stop bickering and work for the good of the community. An exchange has said that the best way to build up a city Is for each and every man in It not to strive to rend high freight rates, not within our reach. Such a highway would be of great advantage to every farmer and business man In this county by add ing largely to their Income. The Grants Pass Commercial club can he a,ul ,ear ,lown' a,,1 ,lllU ver a of service If It will appoint a commit- I "1Bn lu lown 18 dolnK we- not tH try tee on this subject so as to Induce our southern neighbors to push for ward this Important enterprise. A WONDERFUL WOMAN ORATOR. Tbe visit of Rev. Anna Howard 1 Shaw to this city on 'rlday last was to tear him down. This writer goes on to say: "All the residents of a town are partners, not opponents. In all like lihood the more business done by your rival the more you will do. Ev ery gentleman who treats his custom er honestly, courteously and fairly, will get his share, and the more busi ness that can be secured by united STRAW VOTES ARK IN ORDER. an event which will long be remem bered by the people who met the lady Ull-I u.i ni i. lefr()rti ,ne bHter wl)1 be fo1 a) opera house In tbe evening.
